Three days later

Everything was ready, after nightfall, Lin Qing and Lin Qing had dinner, everything was cleaned up, and they came to the Delong Inn, Huang Daxing and Liu Chengzhang were waiting in the courtyard, and there was an old man who looked like a eunuch standing next to him, Liu Chengzhang introduced: "This is Gonggong Liu in the palace." Then he pointed to Lin Qing and introduced to Gonggong Liu: "This is the Lin Sect Master of our Tianli Sect", the two hugged their fists and said a few polite words to each other,

Lin Qing asked Huang Daxing again: "Hall Master Huang, how are the brothers preparing?" Huang Daxing replied: "Sect Master, more than 20,000 brothers have already laid an ambush outside the city, just wait for an order, all the brothers in the city are here, there are a total of about 1,000 people."

Lin Qing nodded and said, "Very good." He turned around and asked the eunuch, "Gonggong Liu, how do you think our 1,000 people should sneak into the Forbidden City?"

Gonggong Liu frowned, thought for a long time, and then said: "Don't hide it, I am a small eunuch serving in the imperial dining room, I was going to escort a batch of grain into the palace tonight, you can mix in the team, but at most there are only about 200 people, if you want thousands of people to enter, I am afraid that you will not be able to do it, this is the rule of the palace,"

"There are only more than 200 people, what's the use of entering the Longtan Tiger's Den?" Liu Chengzhang said urgently.

Father-in-law Liu sighed and continued: "That is a three-foot forbidden land, how can outsiders get close? Just these more than 200 people are also a great risk. ”

Li Wencheng thought for a while and said to Lin Qing: "That's it, big brother, I'll take 200 people to go in with Gonggong Liu first, and you and the rest of the brothers will respond outside, and then we will join forces inside and outside." ”

Lin Qing nodded and said, "It seems that this is the only way, but I still bring someone in first, and you can answer outside." ”

"This is really impossible, eldest brother, you are the sect leader, how can you risk your life," Li Wencheng hurriedly stopped.

Lin Qing laughed, patted him on the shoulder and said: "Wencheng, you and I have a righteous alliance, why don't you know my thoughts, just because I am the sect leader, I should take the lead, you and my brother, how can you be greedy for life and afraid of death." ”

Liu Chengzhang said: "Sect Master, I think so, the three sect masters will accompany you to go in, and there are me and Daxing outside, you can rest assured,"

Huang Daxing also said: "Yes, yes, sect leader, it's good for multiple people to take care of it,"

Lin Qing nodded in agreement, so the two of them selected 200 shrewd, capable and strong young men among the thousands of disciples, and set off with Gonggong Liu.

Gonggong Liu led his group to Xihua Gate, and the two Qing army leaders guarding Xihua Gate saw Liu Decai coming. The thief grinned with a smile and said with a smile: "Yo, Gonggong Liu, are you on duty today?"

Liu Decai smiled slightly and said, "Yes, who told me to die with this old bone, I can't be idle,"

The two Qing soldiers looked behind him and exclaimed, "Oh, why are there so many people today?"

"Yes, yes, there are a lot of goods bought today, so find a little more manpower," Liu Decai said, while taking out a bag of things from his arms and handing them to them, and said in a low voice: "The two military masters are standing here in the wind and sun, it's hard enough, I have a distant nephew who got some tobacco from Guangdong, if you don't dislike it, you can taste it." ”

When the two people saw this, they immediately smiled, and said, "That...... How embarrassing is that" while reaching out to take it,

Liu Decai came to the two of them and said in a low voice: "Don't hide it from the two of you, I thought I was drinking a little wine outside, and I missed some time, you can see if you can make it convenient for me to go into the palace quickly."

The two Qing soldiers had yellow faces and thin muscles, black circles under their eyes, and they knew at a glance that they were long-term smokers, and they did get a pack of tobacco for no reason, and they were grateful to Liu Decai in their hearts, so they didn't care about the access control rules, waved their hands, and said: "Where did Gonggong Liu say, you are an old-timer in the palace, and you know more rules than us, you let everyone go in quickly, the palace is waiting for dinner,"

Liu Decai thanked him for a while, turned around and said hello, and led everyone into the Xihua Gate, Lin Qing and Li Wenhua were all dressed as hawkers or men, pushing more than a dozen cars, and there were hidden knives, guns, swords and sticks under the cars.

Under the leadership of Liu Decai, everyone was rushing to the inner palace, and walked out of less than half a mile, when they met a pair of patrolling Qing soldiers, the leader of the team, wearing a helmet and crown armor, a scimitar on his waist and hips, and the corners of his mouth were slightly twitched.

Liu Decai was taken aback, hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down and kowtowed, and said: "The Lord Protector is angry, the Lord is angry, the villain is the eunuch on duty in the imperial dining room, and he just came in from outside the door to escort grain and rice." ”

The protector snorted and asked sharply, "Why are you eunuchs from the imperial dining room coming to this Longzong Sect? Don't you know what kind of place this is? Is this the place where you can come?"

Liu Decai was so frightened that he trembled violently, and stammered and replied, "It's all ...... It's the villain...... Villain, old and mediocre, with ...... Led the wrong way. ”

The guard waved his hand and shouted, "Give me a good search, there is something in that car." "As soon as dozens of Qing soldiers swarmed up, they were going to start searching. ”

Lin Qing took a step forward, bowed down and said, "Adults are slow, villains have something to say,"

The protector looked up and down and asked, "Who are you?"

Lin Qing replied: "The villain's surname is Lin, and he is the owner of the grain and rice store in the capital, and he supplies Da Nei grain and rice all year round,"

The protector snorted and asked, "What do you have to say?"

Lin Qing took two steps forward and said in a low voice: "The grass people entered the palace for the first time, and accidentally lost their way, and I hope that the adults will raise their noble hands, this is the ancestral thing of the grass people's family, and I hope that the adults will smile and accept it," he said, untying the long wooden box behind him and handing it forward.

The protector was puzzled, and when he opened the wooden box, he saw that it was a three-ring knife.

Lin Qing grabbed the knife and slashed it at his neck horizontally, but before the poor man could figure out what was going on, his head flew out, and blood spurted out seven or eight times high. When those Qing soldiers saw it, they immediately made a noise, drew their swords one after another, and rushed up.

Li Wenhua and other two hundred people also kicked over the vehicle, pulled out the knives, guns and sticks that had been hidden long ago, and rushed up, fighting together, Lin Qing held a three-ring knife, rushed left and right to kill, which of the dozens of Qing soldiers could withstand more than 200 people to slash and kill, and after a while, they fell in a pool of blood.

Lin Qing wiped the blood on his face with his hand, turned back to Liu Decai and said, "Father-in-law Liu, you go and bring in Hall Master Liu, we have been exposed, and we can only rush in," Liu Decai agreed and turned around.

Lin Qing said to everyone: "Brothers, today's matter has come to this, there is no advance or retreat, all I teach my disciples, be sincere, and die without complaint." He took out a white cloth from his bosom and tied it to his head, and when everyone saw it, they took out the white cloth from their bosom and tied it to their heads.

At this time, the forbidden army had already heard the sound of fighting and rushed over.
